Last Year..

Last year i spent only half the year in the country of which i live, New Zealand. I spent one month in U.S.A and five more months in France. When i went to France i went by myself, without my family which i had gone with to America. travelling alone is different then travelling with friends or family, and this was the first time i had gone somewhere for over a few weeks alone.

living in New Zealand, just like any other place in the world i imagine has its pros and cons, while in France i found out that the main percentage of things people knew about New Zealand was rugby. Not everyone in New Zealand like rugby which for some people i told was hard to believe, i personally do not mind the game, however find it boring at times.

I was in France  for 6 months all together, i came back in February of this year. For those six months i lived with a host family in the south of France in a town called Nimes. It took 37 hours by plane to get there and another 4 hours i think by TGV to get to Nimes. When i arrived my host family meet me, i had only exchanged 2 or 3 emails with them before i left New Zealand, so we were perfect strangers to each other. My host family consisted of the parents,  and two daughters, one younger and one older then myself.

I remember the first morning in their house, i woke up not remembering where i was, everything being unfamiliar as i had arrived late at night, everything was new and different to what i knew and what i thought was 'normal'.

I have been home now for 2 and a half months and i still find myself thinking of my relationship with my host family and the friends i made and the people who go under my skin, i still imagine what i would be doing if i was living with my host family now, what my friends at school would be dong, who their exams went, if they are still progressing in English without me.

The word Indecis is a french word which means undecided. in the movie Eat Love Pray there is a scene when Liz is asked what her word is and she doesn't know, for now my word is Indecis, as i am unsure about my future, about what and where i will do and go to University next year .
